I have started an advertising push to hopefully get some more Christmas parties here this year. We already have a couple booked, but of course there is lots of room for more. A short sample from my ad for anyone reading this that doesn’t know what we have to offer.

Why not take advantage of our relaxed country atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of the busy season. Our recreation building is all decked out and ready to welcome your group.

Hall rentals are available by the 1/2 day, evening or full day. You can bring your own food and refreshments or we can provide many different refreshment/meal options from as simple as coffee only up to full meals. Liquor permits can be obtained through Manitoba Liquor Commission for up to 106 people.

We have lots of things to do to keep everyone occupied. Outside you will find plenty of wide open space for snowmobiling, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, snowball fighting, pond skating and ice fishing (weather permitting). Inside you will find a spacious meeting area, satellite TV, sound system with karaoke machine, wifi, pool table, arcade games and children’s play area.

If you already knew all that oh well, you really had nothing better to do than read it anyway?lol I haven’t got the decorating done yet, but am planning to do it after the Grey Cup is over. I have inherited quite a bit of decorations and the place looks darn good once we are done. (if I do say so myself)

We are just getting back from turning in our old lights to Manitoba Hydro to get the coupon for LED’s. We started gathering and managed to scrounge up 22 strings of lights. They said there was no limit on how many you could bring in, so we brought them all. We only have until the end of the month the use the coupons now, then it is time to put them up.

My apologizes to any scrooges out there, but it had to be done.

I hope that everyone who has somewhere to go makes it there safely today. I hear that the roads have been pretty bad last night and this morning.  I think yesterday morning the question many people were asking was ‘Do you think it will stay?’. I’m no weather expert, but if I was to make a bet I would go with it is going to stay now.

 Hopefully no one’s drive today goes like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMzeiMJQrvk

You could always just go out and play in the snow like these guys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4YPQ3P9jCM

I didn’t realize just how much snow there was until I went out to clear off the satellite dish. It is quite deep and is still coming down. I’m being told by two girlies that we need to go for a walk in the snow. Yay, I so want to go out in the snow (that would be sarcasm)
